IJKA European Championships Italy 2008

The IJKA European Karate Championships were held on Friday 15th August 2008 near Venice, Italy. This date commemerates the loss of Asai Shihan who died on the 15th August 2006. A minutes silence was held at the start of the championships and was impecably respected.
